Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP, Sola Jejeloye, chairman of the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offenses Unit, has distanced his department from any role in the ongoing brawl and gunshot that occurred in the state’s Mile-2 neighborhood on Tuesday morning.
The chairman merely replied, in a statement sent through his public affairs officer Mr. Raheem Gbadeyanka, “We have no hand in it, and it is not Lagos state taskforce officers involved.”
According to an earlier report from Vanguard, Mr. Richard Igbe, a trapped bystander, made a distress call and said there had been a fight on top of the Mile 2-Oshodi bridge.
He said the fight had led to the blockage of the bridge denying people access to the road.

Although the actual cause of the fight has not been ascertained, at the time of the call, Igbe claimed that four persons were dead from gunshots.
According to him, “Mile 2 is on fire, both the task force, tanker drivers, and touts are fighting seriously. I don’t know what caused the fight but I am just hiding at Fagbems Filling station at Mile 2 and watching.
“I am going to work but I am stranded as they barricade the whole of Mile 2 that nobody will pass”, he said.
